Sydney Martin has quickly become a fan favourite on Coronation Street after she made her debut earlier this year - but she couldn't be more different from her troublesome teen character
Sydney Martin has rapidly won over Coronation Street fans since her debut on the soap in June, introduced under mysterious circumstances as Sabrina's acquaintance. Sydney's character was involved in high-stakes drama from the start, resorting to blackmail against the deceitful Joel Deering.
Off-screen, Sydney's real-life contrasts sharply with her on-screen persona. While portraying 16 year old Betsy, Sydney herself is actually 22 and has expressed her appreciation for being mature enough to understand the weight of her storyline, involving serious and critical themes. The actress shared: "It is weird though, don't get me wrong, because is six years younger than I am. She joked: "I mean, I layer on the moisturiser. "
Sydney, who doesn't come from a showbiz family, was working six days a week at Tesco to support her acting career when she got the role. In an interview with the ECHO and other press, she revealed that she quit her job at the supermarket before sharing the exciting news with her overjoyed family. She said: "My dad was like you shouldn't have handed your notice. He was like 'they're not going to give you a reference at Tesco now'.
"The concerns of diving into an unstable acting career were evident, but the support never wavered: "It can be worrying for parents for someone to say they want to go into acting because it is such an uncertain career. You really have to be a certain type of person to be resilient with it." Cait took to Instagram to post photos from their night out, captioning the moment: "The dream team." She then affectionately called her co-star "twinnie" following Sydney's heartwarming comment: "oh I adore you both".
